| description | Superior hip dislocation is a rare entity reported in the medical literature. Superior hip dislocation in the pediatric age is even rarer. Careful clinical and radiological assessment helps to diagnose these injuries early for their appropriate management. We, hereby, describe a case of superior hip dislocation in a 10-year-old child following fall from a tree. The characteristic attitude of limb and radiological correlation helped in prompt diagnosis which was then followed by an emergent closed and successful reduction. The stable and concentric reduction was achieved and no re-dislocation was noted in the follow-up of 8 months. The child shall be under periodic review for future complications such as avascular necrosis, arthritis, or femoral head deformity among other potential complications. |
